6 Unique Halloween Costume Ideas

Finding a Halloween costume is stressful. Do you want to be sexy? Funny? Cosplay? It takes time and effort to figure out what you want to be and to acquire the costume, so here are some ideas to give you a head start.

1. The Greek God Of Your Choice

This one requires a little bit of creativity but with the help of Pinterest and hard work, you can be the unique greek god/goddess of your dreams. Pick one that you resonate with or want to embody (i.e Hades, the god of death) and then pick makeup looks and a killer black dress to give a cute, modern twist!

2. Your Favorite Color.

Do a killer makeup look with your favorite color, temporary hair dye, and a monochromatic outfit, and you have yourself a costume! Bonus points if you get your whole squad to be the rainbow.

3. Victorias Secret Angels - Reimagined

Giphy

We all know the controversy around Victorias Secret not wanting to include Trans and Plus-sized women in their annual fashion show and this costume idea is a way to get back at them. Take all of your insecurities or parts of who you are that you love, rhinestone it on to a pink silk robe, dress up in you best bra or slip dress and rock your stuff. You are an angel, so own it!

4. A Hogwarts Student Or Professor.

If you're like me and love Harry Potter, it can be hard to find a main character or Head of House that you really identify with or want to embody. My solution is to create your own professor or student! I think this is a fun way to really get creative with a costume.

5. Disney Princesses As Superheroes.

I saw this idea on cosmopolitan and thought it was brilliant. Get a badass group of friends together and join forces as the two most iconic groups of characters that Disney has to offer.

6. Your Parents From The 80's.

80's fashion is back whether you like it or not. Grab your siblings and recreate iconic looks from mom and dad's old family album!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
